Suzanna Van Hout
1932-2019
Susanna Theresia Van Hout (nee -van Vijfijken), age 87, passed away November 20, 2019, due to long-time medical issues causing her heart to eventually fail.
Susanna, better known as Mom or Oma, was born April 5, 1932, in Geldrop, the Netherlands. She married Thomas Theodorus van Hout on June 2, 1953, in the Catholic Church in Geldrop and subsequently immigrated to Canada.
Thomas passed away on May 2, 2003, just one month before their 50th wedding anniversary.
Susanna is much loved by her 5 children, Tom, Martha, Niel, Joyce, and Ted; her 42 grandchildren/great-grandchildren and her many nephews and nieces in the Netherlands. She is predeceased by her parents and siblings but has one living brother, Jac van Vijvijken, who lives in the Netherlands with his wife, Annie. Susanna was not only a kind and loving mom and oma, she made friends easily, and enjoyed many close friendships over her lifetime.
